The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

"Didn't the eighth brother go to the fourth brother's house? You went too, didn't they talk about anything?" Brother Jiu frowned: "Didn't the eighth brother say anything?"

"Myna talked a lot, but I was confused, and finally I fell asleep." Elder Fourteen said shyly, "Ninth Brother, what's the matter with you? I'll just go to sleep if I'm fine. Huilongjue, my brother's family got up too early."

Ninth elder brother had no choice, fourteenth elder brother was telling the truth at a glance, he had no reason to lie to him about this, so ninth elder brother had no choice but to wipe his face and go back.

Brother Fourteen was really sleepy, he fell asleep and woke up with snacks, he lived happily ever after.

But eighth brother's life is not good.

When he got home that night, he washed up in the study and fell asleep, but couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning. What happened today, to be honest, hit his self-esteem a bit.

He snatched this errand from the king of Yongjun at the beginning, and left the matter of rebuilding the bridge to the fourth brother. He thought he had picked up a good errand. After all, Prince Yu had already cleared out the Xiyue Temple, and the rest It's just buying bricks, stones and wood, and repairing them with craftsmen.

This matter was actually very easy to accomplish, and Xiyue Temple had a special status. The place where Xiyue Temple enshrined the Huashan soldier god King Jintian was also a holy place for the mainstream Quanzhen sect of Taoism.

In the first year of Yuanguang in the Western Han Dynasty, Jiling Palace was built in Huangfuyukou. It was moved to the current site in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was later renamed Xiyue Temple.

He speculated that Huang Ama was going to Huashan to offer sacrifices, and as long as he repaired the Xiyue Temple, it would be a brilliant job when the time came.

Maybe, he will accompany Huang Ama to sacrifice?

It turns out that this job is a "donkey dung ball", the inside is dross and the surface is smooth!

The eighth elder brother was so worried that he frowned while sleeping, and when he got up the next day, he heard that Fujin had packed his things again and went to the palace to visit the concubine Yi.

He thought of his Er Niang, if Er Niang was half as capable as Concubine Yi, he wouldn't have had such a hard life, and the resentment in his heart increased a little.

Now that it is winter, the sky in the capital is gloomy, and it seems that there is going to be a heavy snowfall. Xilaishun Hot Pot Chain is now a good time for business.

Elder Fourteen started thinking about the New Year again, so he had to prepare in advance, after all, he was used to this kind of trouble every year in the palace.

Then I went to the palace to give Kangxi watermelon and cantaloupe, and this year's melon shed also had loofahs planted.

The imperial chef in the palace made cold golden loofah with loofah, it was delicious!

"Next year we will go on a tour outside the Great Wall, so prepare to accompany you." Kangxi brought up this matter after having dinner with his [-] sons: "Mongolia fought on a par with Tsarist Russia, but they took a lot of good things. I really like going to Tsarist Russia."

The Mongols are full of energy, so Kangxi will give them a place to vent their energy. It can't be the Central Plains, the great rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty, so let's go outside and make troubles. Tsarist Russia is not bad.

Cossacks vs. Mongolian cavalry, I don't know who is better.

"Okay, it's just that Erchen is going to visit the north, and I have to find another tribe to provide sheep. The roast sheep shop only needs one-and-a-half-year-old sheep. It won't work if it's old or tender. Who would know that? Look? If they bully my ministers who don’t understand sheep, and fool them casually, I won’t do it. By the way, Huang Ama, do you have any tribes you want to recommend? The ministers have plenty of salt and tea, and they In exchange for sheep and cloth."

Mongolia is rich in cattle, sheep and horses, but it does not produce salt, let alone tea!

These are all things controlled by the imperial court. Brother Fourteen can get some by himself, but it can’t meet the needs of all the Mongolians. It can only meet the needs of half of the tribes, and they have to spend money to buy the rest.

Or use cattle, horses and sheep in exchange, and leather is also acceptable.

Brother Fourteen added chive flower sauce and dried mushrooms to them.

"Find a few people who know sheep, and I'll check it out for you." Kangxi asked someone to give him a piece of Dongpo meat: "In February, let Da Gege from Zhijun Wangfu get married, and we will go on a north tour in May."

It's time.

Brother Fourteen paused for a moment while eating meat: "I really don't want to marry Mongolia."

"There is no way." Kangxi said: "At least this generation must marry, and the next generation may not."

Kangxi's layout was never completed in one or two years. He had a long-term perspective, so he endured many things. , Now that the daughters are married, he will start marrying his granddaughter.

Because there are quite a lot of granddaughters in the next generation, he can definitely marry for more than ten years, or even decades.

He can't give birth to a daughter, and his sons can give him a granddaughter!

"I hope!" Elder Fourteen poked the rice.

The father and son chatted about other things, and Elder Fourteen went to Yonghe Palace to visit Concubine De.

Concubine De was as loving as ever, but she looked at Elder Fourteen with a little pity and confusion in her eyes. She is already 20 years old, why is she still acting like a child?

Brother Fourteen is very busy, especially at this time of winter, business is good!

In the twelfth lunar month, I ate Laba porridge. The first bowl of Laba porridge rewarded by Kangxi this year is still given to the fourteenth elder brother.

The Chinese New Year is still the same, and this year the King Zhijun and the Crown Prince are still absent, and the person who leads people to toast the princes, ministers and royal family members has become the youngest nineteenth brother.

The little guy has been able to calm down the scene.

But he was a small one, toasting someone with a wine glass, but what he drank was sugar water, and a group of elderly people laughed happily.

The fourteenth elder brother was afraid that the nineteenth elder brother would be bloated from drinking too much water, so he took him to the Gong room twice to drain the water and rinse his mouth. Finally, he took the younger brother to his desk and called him a A bowl of hot dumplings to eat.

So as not to drink sugar water on an empty stomach, and end up urinating, leaving an empty stomach.

No one noticed this detail, only Kangxi saw it. Over there, Prince Yong was taking care of Eighteenth Elder Brother.

The eighteenth elder brother is half-grown, and he has reached the age when cats hate dogs. The seventeenth elder brother doesn't like to talk to him, and only talks to the eighth elder brother.

So the eighteenth elder brother is in the care of the fourth master.

To be honest, Elder Eighteen is a little afraid of Fourth Master, and feels that when Fourth Master puts on a straight face, he will feel terrified!

He didn't dare to play tricks on fourth master, but he was not afraid of how stern his fourteenth brother was, so he dared to play on fourteenth brother.

In the first lunar month, the 21th elder brother celebrated his [-]st birthday, and he has passed the year of weak crown.

In the first month, the House of Internal Affairs had prepared the dowry of Prince Zhijun Da Gege, for this reason, Eighth Master went to Prince Zhijun's residence several times.

Da Gege was given the status of Doro Gege by Kangxi, and he married Fumeng when he had just finished eating pork head meat.

Kangxi's Wanshou Festival in March, the fourteenth elder brother still cooked noodles for him, and the Wanshou Festival was also very unpleasant.

Because the court has formed a strange balance, now everyone wants to stand up, and everyone wants to not stand up, lest the first citron rots first.

As for Kangxi, on the second day after eating birthday noodles, he proposed to make a northern tour.

After hearing the news, Concubine Hui was the most angry: "Concubine Min's two daughters got married, and Lord Long Live gave them away in person, and the dowry was full; Da Gege got married, only two or three months away, so we can't..."

Can't you go to see her off in person?

Speaking of Da Gege, he is also the child of Kangxi's first grandchild and the first eldest granddaughter.

Concubine Hui was disappointed that Da Gege was not an elder brother, but the first grandchildren were different after all!

"Ma'am!" The nurse next to her hurriedly called out to her.

You can't just complain about this. There are some Amas who marry off their daughters, but no Mafas who marry off their granddaughters.

What's more, it's Long Live God!

If he is not happy, who can force him to marry him?

Complaining about Lord Long Live is a big taboo in the palace.

Once it was known that Concubine Hui was harboring resentment, what would Lord Long Live think?Now the king of Zhijun is no longer, Concubine Hui kept her concubine position by retreating, but the king of Zhijun is still "thinking behind closed doors", but it is different from the past after all.

"Hmph!" Concubine Hui snorted coldly, but she did not dare to say anything anymore.

But the resentment in my heart couldn't go away, and I could only toss about those low-ranking women who came to say hello to her every day.

But this matter was still learned by Kangxi.

"I don't know what to say!" He became more and more impatient with the women in the harem, especially the old women who had been out of favor for many years.

During the entire month of April, Kangxi never went to Zhongcui Palace, and he didn’t even ask if Concubine Hui had messed with that woman. The woman would move out the next day and live in another palace... Concubine Hui began Silent like a cicada.

Don't bother those women anymore.

When Kangxi was going to tour the north, many people were eager to move, and Ba Ye especially wanted to go with him. Unfortunately, Kangxi exempted him from the spot on the grounds that he still had an errand.

Fourth Master didn't go. His first job in the Ministry of Industry was to rebuild the bridge on the Yongding River.

The Fourteenth Master found his brother: "I will donate 5 taels to build a Yongding Bridge, a stone bridge, at least five meters above the water. If the money is not enough, I will donate again. Brother, it must be repaired firmly, and then please ask the emperor Ama wrote the inscription and named the bridge."

"Okay." The fourth master was not polite to him: "The imperial court allocated 1 taels, say more or less, at least three stone bridges will be built on the Yongding River, and one will cost at least 3 taels."

Repairing a stone bridge can last for 800 years, don't worry!

But the cost of the stone bridge was too high, and fourth master was scratching his head when his younger brother came.

"Well, you don't have enough money, tell me, when Huang Ama asks, you say that in order to commemorate Huang Ama's falling into the water for no reason, three stone bridges must be built to come out, one is eternal, one is long live, and one is prolonging the year. Appropriate!" Elder Fourteen even chose his name.

"Okay." This request, fourth master can do it.

As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival was over, Kangxi began to lead people to tour the north.

On this northern tour, Kangxi only brought ten beizi, thirteen beizi, fourteen beile, fifteen elder brothers, sixteen elder brothers, seventeen elder brothers, eighteen elder brothers, and nineteen elder brothers.

Kangxi took great care of Fourteen and asked him to accompany Brother Eighteen and Brother Nineteen in a car. As he was Baylor, the frame would be bigger and it would be much more comfortable to sit in.

The grassland has turned green in May, but the temperature is still very low. It should be hot in June.

Kangxi toured outside the Great Wall, and the summer resort in Rehe was still under construction, but it already had a rough prototype.

When they arrived outside the Great Wall, the scenery was just right, neither hot nor cold, and many Mongolian tribes had already rushed over from the Qixing River. When they arrived, it was already early June.

Kangxi suddenly delivered an edict to revise "Biography of Heroic Officials". Hey, these veterans kept singing praises to Kangxi. Who wouldn't want to be nominated?

Even Mongolia has heard about it, and many people follow suit, taking photos of Kangxi's horses, and Kangxi is triumphant.

Brother Fourteen's visit this time was even welcomed by the Mongolian princes. Many Mongolian princes wanted Fourteen to be their son-in-law. These people began to inquire about Brother Fourteen's preferences openly and secretly.

Their daughters, granddaughters, etc., showed great enthusiasm for Brother Fourteen!

Poor Shishi forced him to sleep with Xiao Jiu in order to reject this group of enthusiastic Mongolian girls.

His behavior like this made Elder Seventeen very envious and jealous.

The seventeenth brother also wants to be like the tenth brother, marrying a Mongolian Fujin, with Mongolia as his backer, at least the daughter-in-law will have a generous dowry, and he can get a nice title in the future.

Elder Brother Shi met his father-in-law, Weng and his son-in-law had a good relationship, and Shi Beizi also had a good relationship with his eldest brother-in-law, who was the eldest son of his father-in-law.

Even though Elder Brother Ten is a notoriously reckless person, Kangxi treated him kindly and invited King Urjinga Lapp and Shi Beizi to the banquet alone.

These Mongolian princes and aristocrats are fond of Fourteen, but they are not interested in Elder Seventeen. Elder Seventeen's mother's family is in decline, and he has nothing to accomplish. Why marry a daughter to him?

Such bipolar treatment made Elder Seventeen grit his silver teeth!

Seeing those Mongolian girls running after Elder Fourteen, he was so jealous that he was mad!

In July, the main building of the Rehe Palace was completed, and the holy driver of the Long Live God stayed in Rehe.

There are also quite a few Mongolian princes and Taiji who came with them, and more than half of them intend to marry.

Just after they arrived here and settled down, a message suddenly spread here: Fourteen Baylor Why didn't they get married at 21?Kangxi didn't marry him either?Because of the fourteenth, she is "a widow with a disease"!

The evidence is that, up to the fourteenth day, there has been no palace maid, no concubine's room, and no princess!

There is no first wife in the main room, and Fujin in the concubine!

With so many Mongolian princesses, he doesn't like any of them?

cant!

It can only be fourteen Baylor "the widow has a disease"!

The Fourteenth Master frowned after hearing this message: "Where did it come from?"

"I don't know!" The well-informed Tong Jiaqinggui wiped off his sweat: "But, Lord, what should I do?"

"Don't worry about it, Huang Ama will investigate." Elder Fourteen said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I haven't thought about that either...but it's too late to think about it now."

At the same time, Kangxi was also aware of the news, and he accidentally smashed the teacup in his hand: "Let me go and find out, who the hell is talking nonsense outside?"
